Montecoco

Salice Salentino DOP Red

A wine that represents the perfect harmony between Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera. Bright ruby red in color. On the nose, it reveals Mediterranean aromas: opening with black cherry, followed by aromatic herbs and finally spicy notes. On the palate, it shows good structure and balance, thanks to the contribution of the two grape varieties: softness is balanced by a dense yet well-integrated tannic texture and a vibrant freshness. Good persistence.
